Sulphur Recovery Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Sulphur Recovery Market is expected to reach USD 3824.22 million by 2032 with CAGR of 5.5 % between 2026 and 2032

Sulphur is widely used in petroleum industries as it helps in gaining traction across various industry segments. In the current scenario, sulphur is recovered as a by-product of oil & gas industry followed by coal gasification. Sulphur recovery is a process of harnessing sulphur from hydrogen sulphide. It ranks for its large volume and ready availability and as the most abundant element in the world. Its end use application is required in fertilizers, rubber, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It needs to be eliminated during the coal gasification & extraction process to avoid catalyst poisoning & prevent fouling.  

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) has its presence in a number of gaseous waste streams from oil refineries, natural gas plants and wastewater treatment among other processes. These streams usually contain sulphur, water vapour, carbon dioxide, trace quantities of hydrocarbons and ammonia. Waste gases with ammonia and sulphur are termed as sour gases, whereas those without the presence of ammonia are referred to as acid gases. These waste streams are used to recover sulphur just before flaring them. Sulphur recovery from sour or acid gas involves application of the Claus Process using the reaction between hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide (produced in the Claus Process furnace from the combustion of H2S with air and/or oxygen).
